It may have been the plan

Congratulations on the new arrivals! Stella is beautiful, and Bug is adorable.

He knows that he's home.

Mr. Hobo Highwaters is a gorgeous cat.

Who can resist that toothy grin?

adorable!

Twofer

Good luck to you both, remember to be patient :)

Bunsen! Adopting is a well made decision. Every animal deserves a good home.

These two bonded kitties will be best friends forever. I wish mine got along half as well.

It's nice to meet you, Frodo.

Good on you for adopting him.

Unless your blood runs like ice water, that look would win anyone over.

Gorgeous girl!

Resistance is futile. Oliver is beyond cute, of course.

Cats do chose their humans. You're lucky that he chose you.

Amazing!

SNOOT

What? That's a thing one can do? Like...how??? I need more information.

Wee tiny baby. Hope it was older than three months when you adopted it. (Unless it as abandoned, but please do not adapt ANY animal before 13 weeks of age.)

Awww!

These two are such sweet little floofs! Congratulations.

Beautiful dog!

Look at the feets!

Thank you for rescuing Mama Rabbit and her babies. And, the description for the sub-human is spot on.

Luna walked into the right garden.

Just bewdifool!!

Looks like a polite gentleman.

He's a good boy!))

Even as adults, animals just love to listen to the heartbeat of someone they love.

What a gorgeous kitten

Brickbats to the potential owners that never showed up!

Calicos are lots of fun. I think that she likes her new home.

I hate to think about what the poor kitty has been through. I'm glad that she is coming around.

Wonderful decision!

When did we collectively stop knowing how to spell shepherd?

And it looks like she really feels like she’s home too!

I know this is a joke, but Jackson Galaxy has some tips on YouTube for cat owners on how to encourage cats not to hassle their humans for food - AND without resorting to squirt guns.

Hiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

Happy new life Lux - may it be full of belly rubs, walks and the right amount of treats!

We had a situation like that and ended up keeping the birdo. Turns out he has a deformity and was likely kicked out of the nest by his mother as a result. He'll never be able to fly but he's a super affectionate pet.

You should name him Van, as in Gogh!;-p

Her name is Soy Sauce? Aw!

Many puppies take a while for their ears to gain muscle in order to perk upright :)

Excellent way to begin married life. Congratulations!

Oreo is adorable and papillons are some of the cutest dogs. ( tho you may be picking dog hair out of your mouth.) Enjoy Oreo!

The former owner's loss is your gain. Mr Tiggs knows that he is with the right people.

Kitty is really comfortable around the Doggie.

Are you my Mama?

Yes, Alice is smiling.

What an affectionate kitty! One of mine kisses me too, but I usually think that she is curious as to what I had for dinner.

I love the feets. Really, I can't stop staring at them.

Glad she has a safe home now!

Ricky don’t lose that number!

I think your cat adopted your husband, too cute!

Considering that foxes are canids, therefore a relative of dogs, it’s easy to see how the domesticated (not tame—-tame is still wild) foxes can bond with us in much the same way as our dogs do.
